Genre

The genre of this book is fantasy and fiction because there is a boy that is invisible and it is impossible to be invisible in real life and that Emma turned into a bird and got feathers even though she is a human.

images).5. The streets6. Darkly Wynd

Problem and solution

The problem in this book is that Ollie Sparks is invisible and because he is invisible, he has no friends and everybody is scared of him because only his toe is showing. Ollie Sparks became invisible because a blue boa squeezed him.The solution is when Billy Raven talked to the blue boa to make Ollie visible again because Billy can talk to animals.

Best and worst part of the book

The best part of this book is when Charlie Bone saved Ollie Sparks from being invisible because now no one will be scared of him anymore and he can now have friends and see his family again.The worst part of the book for me was when Paton. Charlie’s uncle got sick because he went to Yewbeam Castle and then some one injured him, I don’t like this part because Paton was a good guy and he was one of my favorite characters in this book.
